I was a little underwhelmed with Opiate's set, although I think that had
more to do with the venue they were playing in, Lee's Palace, which is very
much a traditional rock club. I really prefer experimental laptop sets in
more intimate, loungey environments.
Styrofoam, however, was fantastic (even despite the heckler that caused him
to stop for a few minutes during his first track). A perfect mixture of
indie-ish vocals and melodic electronica.

Did they not do an encore at your show? We got a three song encore here,
including Nin-Com-Pop, and an "all star" number where Styrofoam and Opiate
joined them on stage for full-on version of a new Styrofoam song that gave
me shivers like I haven't felt at a live show since the first time I saw
Sigur Ros. Absolutely stunning.
